Verity speakers for $7k or less?

After some good suggestions for musical non-fatiguing speakers in thread so named - I'm focusing in on the Verity line. There isn't anything I've auditioned in that price range that've bowled me over. And if there were some good sounding speakers I ultimately found them too aggressive or fatiguing. Dynaudio Confidence 2s comes to mind tho they were otherwise impressive.

Other threads have said that you had to start midline and up with the veritys to get something satisfying for the long term. What would that speaker be? And can it be had for $7k or less? Thanks!

Verity Audio Parsifal Encore's can usually be found for around $7K and maybe a little less, depending on age, condition, etc. I see a pair of Rienzi for sale for less than $7K, but I have not heard these speakers.

There is also a pair of Parsifal Ovations for $7900, which seems like a decent deal if you can stretch a bit, or maybe talk him down a bit. Happy hunting.

Don't forget about Aerial 10T. It's still sold for ridiculously low price point at $2k+-

Give a listen to the Joseph Audio Pulsars,a very musical and non-fatiguing loudspeaker if there ever was one. They do most things right...

I notice the Rienzi have been discontinued, so I wouldn't purchase them without an audition. I may look into the Joseph audio too.

My equipment is getting warmer all the time. Just purchased the Cary Audio SLP 98 tube preamp and 100T tube DAC to mate with my Cary Cinema 5 200wpc amp.

Hopefully it all won't be too much of a good thing. But Cary equipment tends to play nicely with each other.

You may want to be careful that you don't get too warm. I now own the Cary SLP-98P preamp as well, it is a little sweetie. I no longer own my Parsifal Encore's which were very warm and sweet as well. I'm not sure that the Cary would be a great match with the Parsifal's, that may have been too warm for my tastes. Of course you may indeed like it that way.
